Macbeth: A Dangerous Books Lecture

Author Peter Dudink reveals that the common claim that Macbeth is a tragic hero is nonsense, implicates W. Shakespeare in the atrocities committed against so-called witches, and exposes the Macbeth story for being a whitewashing of England's conquest of Scotland -- a whitewashing accomplished, in part, by blackwashing or portraying Scotland's rulers, Duncan and Macbeth, as a dunce and a bloody tyrant respectively. The video's visuals highlight how Shakespeaere's whitewashing and blackwashing is paralleled in modern times by the U.S. media and and government – which blackwash or demonize any leader of any country that American leaders wish to destroy or control, and which censor the truth and the atrocities the U.S. military commits abroad.
